I visited Atomic Burger on Cowley Road in Oxford on Saturday 17th August with my boyfriend. :)
We'd read up on it via Trip Advisor and it had awesome reviews and looked like an uber cool place to eat so we thought we'd just have to give it a go.
It was surprisingly easy to find and being located on a strip with loads of other restaurants, tapas bars and what not, I think it did well to stand out with its crazy nostalgic décor.
Admittedly, it doesn't look like the fanciest or even cleanest of places to dine, but don't let that put you off!
They offer an exciting range of inventively named burgers, containing ingredients such as meatballs... or chorizo ... or even pulled pork - yum!

So what did we order?
A 'Big Kahuna' beef burger with 'Sci Fries' & a 'Chuck Norris' beef burger with coleslaw.
My 'Big Kahuna' (made famous by the film Pulp Fiction) was a tasty burger indeed. It was stuffed with a Hawaiian-style mixture of swiss cheese, teriyaki sauce and a big fat ring of pineapple. Just how I'd imagined it - sweet, yet still had that strong punch of chargrilled juicy burger meat. The burger thrashed the quite tasteless 'Sci Fries' in comparison, as I only got a slight taste of old chilli flakes and burnt garlic rather than the heavenly combination they should have mastered so easily.
My boyfriends 'Chuck Norris' boasted the ingredient of BBQ pulled pork, and worked well within the sandwiched lettuce, cheese, tomato and beef. I had food envy over his side of coleslaw.
- I will definitely be revisiting Atomic Burger (especially to try their fantabulous different options for breakfast)
- If you like American style diners, with food challenges, that sell root beer and use retro gimmicky toys and posters instead of wallpaper - You need to go there!!!
